Transforming mental health in schools and colleges: The impact of COVID-19
This important full-day webinar will explore the views of clinicians, researchers, teachers, parents and young people in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the policy aspirations of the 2017 government initiative 'Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision - a Green Paper'. It will delve into how lockdown affected mental health in our nation’s schools, and how mental health interventions can be implemented in schools to provide earlier access to care.
The mental health of teachers and school staff
This webinar will explore the mental health and wellbeing needs of teaching and school staff. During the programme delegates will have the opportunity to engage in debate about the impact of the unprecedented school closures during the UK lockdown period.
